Of all the apps on the Android Market to first break the 50,000,000 download mark, Google Maps has finally done it.

If you’re a fan — or hater for that matter — of Android, there’s no denying that Google Maps is one of the very best apps you can download for the platform. Not only does Google Maps provide a comprehensive GPS-based look at the entire globe, but you can also use the app for turn-by-turn navigation, or use it to find anything from restaurants to tattoo parlors. It should come as no surprise that Google’s home baked super app was the first to be installed 50M times, and it has at least another 50M more to go.
